1. trunkfish

   Trunkfish are a type of boxfish found in the warm waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. They are named for their distinct, trunk-like shape created by strong, boxy, bony plates that cover the majority of their body. These small, slow swimmers are known for their vibrant body coloration, defensive toxins, and their ability to hover in water thanks to their unique swimming style. Trunkfish mainly feed on small invertebrates and algae. Most species of trunkfish grow to lengths ranging from 1 to 19 inches.
